Port Forward by IP address not the nebulous "device" category
For various reasons I have a device with a single device / mac address and two IP addresses attached to it, 10.0.0.19 & 10.0.0.20. For reasons I need to forward a few ports on those separate IPs.
Unfortunately the Xfinity app seems incapable of doing this with the Xfi gateway. When port forwarding I only have the option of selecting a device and it only has the 10.0.0.19 address while the device details in the app only lists 10.0.0.20 instead of both.
When I select to add a port forward in the app how do I manually enter the IP to forward instead of the device from a drop down list.

Hello, and a warm welcome to the Xfinity Forums Community! We're glad to have you here. You can choose from the list of common applications to use a recommended, preset configuration (e.g., Xbox or PlayStation) or select Manual Setup to enter specific port numbers, ranges and/or protocols.
This article is designed to help you set up port forwarding on your home network—a useful feature if you're trying to improve connectivity for specific devices or applications. You also have the option to enable port triggering, depending on your needs.
If you're renting an Xfinity Gateway, we offer two simple ways to set up port forwarding:
xFi Gateway Users: You can set up port forwarding easily using the Xfinity app.
Non-xFi Gateway Users: You can configure port forwarding through the Admin Tool on your gateway.
